You Can Make Vehicles Right Again
I read the very interesting and informative articles in BodyShop Business each month and have often had thoughts of writing to you concerning them but didn’t. But I can no longer refrain from commenting on information about whether a vehicle can be repaired to pre-accident condition.

He’s in the best position to know, but it doesn’t follow that the rest of the shops need to accept his evaluation for their own work.
